I had double vision, told my surgeon something wasn't right and nothing was done. I physically lifted my leg from the open cast in a lot of pain to show the nurses that something was wrong.

Im very sorry to hear of your suffering at the hands of these sub standard nhs staff. How are you doing now? Did you recover? did you expose these people? Compassion is so often missing on some nhs wards....the buck is always passed either to politicians or to budgets etc but there is no legitimate excuse for ignoring and neglecting patients the way they did with you. I have similar stories involving myself and members of my family and friends. the left absolutely silenced this corruption for 13 years and certain nhs staff members simply covered it all up and covered each others backs in the most despicable corrupt callous and frankly evil manner. over 60% of doctors said they felt too intimidated to speak up themselves for fear of reprisals (ie false allegations made against them etc) I recall one time I was in hospital with a swollen leg and suspected blood clot, I was told on arrival the dopler machine was broken so I couldn't be tested for a clot? after 5 long days of being ignored I hopped out of my bed to try and find a nurse and eventually found one and demanded I have a scan..5 minutes later a porter arrives and takes me to the machine..i ask the guy at the dopler machine whats been wrong with it for 5 days? his answer...NOTHING....so Ive been laid in bed with a potential clot for 5 days with warfarin injections in my stomach for no reason? erm yes he replied. just 1 small story of many

The nhs must always have a strong anonymous complaints procedure and strong ombudsman which again was sub standard for years. nurses should not only be employed for their qualifications but their character. the word nurse means to care for people and try to make them better. thorough character studies should be made on these people before they are let loose on wards on innocent patients
